Diagnostic Test

  1. SPEED CONTROL VACUUM CONTROL 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
    3. With the scan tool actuate the Speed Control Vacuum Solenoid and note operation.

      Does the Speed Control Vacuum Solenoid actuate properly?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To step  2
  2. (V397) S/C BRAKE SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the S/C Servo harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Using the scan tool actuate the S/C Vacuum Solenoid.
    5. Using a test light connected to ground, probe the (V397) S/C Brake Switch Output circuit in the S/C Servo harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  6

      No 

      • Go To step  3
  3. (V32) S/C SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Stop Lamp Switch harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Using the scan tool actuate the S/C Vacuum Solenoid.
    5. Using a test light connected to ground, probe the (V32) S/C Supply circuit in the Brake Switch harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  4

      No 

      • Go To step  7
  4. (V397) S/C BRAKE SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (V397) S/C Brake Switch Output circuit from the Speed Control Servo harness connector to the Stop Lamp Switch connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  5

      No 

  5. (V397) S/C BRAKE SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (V397) S/C Brake Switch Output circuit at the Speed Control Servo harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  6. (Z902) S/C GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 3: Checking S/C Switch Circuit

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (Z902) S/C Ground circuit at the S/C Servo harness connector to ground.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  7. (V32) S/C SUPPLY OPEN 
    Fig 4: Checking S/C Switch Circuit

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
      CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (V32) S/C Supply circuit from the Brake Lamp Switch harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool # 8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  8

      No 

  8. (V32) S/C SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND 
    Fig 5: Checking S/C Switch Circuit
    GC0117310Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (V32) S/C Supply circuit at the Speed Control Servo harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To step  9
  9. PCM 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.

    If the there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
